about

"Inverted" is the latest work from prolific Lincoln, Nebraska noise experimentalist Marsha Fisher. Recorded without a DAW or any extraneous devices, these warm lo-fi tracks speak to the holy magic of the unsullied tape loop. That being said, it's miraculous how much texture Fisher is able to achieve with so little; "Inverted" is - at many points throughout its 36 minute span - a near-synesthetic experience.

Reviews:

"Eschewing DAW and racks of outboard gear, Fisher utilized a simple recording setup. With this approach “these warm lo-fi tracks speak to the holy magic of the unsullied tape loop.” Inverted is fittingly available on tape (or digital download) but not just focusing on the recording process this sounds fully realized and not a sketch of an idea or a novelty.

Rich analog synthesizer is a constant on both sides of this album. Not simply a droning composition you find bleeding through the mix, but a counter-melody like a radio channel with a weak signal. As the tape rolls on a sound appears akin to a satellite scanning a planet, and at other times a contemplative old reel of music. The psychedelic noises from bubbling keyboards would be at home accompanying a liquid light show or a nice vintage nature film. Masterful tape manipulation is displayed by Marsha Fisher and hopefully hours more of these loops."

-Jeff Brown (Ruix Zine)

"Lincoln, Nebraska sound artist Marsha Fisher brings us this thirty-six minute collection of analog manipulated recordings, for a sacred audio experience that simmers with regenerative audio sensations. Inverted resonates with the purity and warmth of softly imperfect tape loops, unburdened by modernity. Each of the six tracks included in this audio work is a lovingly crafted document of transcendent cassette glory, produced entirely outside of contemporary technological means, giving this release the magical energy of sounds being shaped as clay is shaped by hands to form a smooth, tactile sculpture.

Tracks such as …of the south sea, and Hyacinth buzz with high-temperature mechanical energy interwoven with rough canvases of undulating ambient detail. Other offerings on the record such as Darkness, Also Light offer a more diaphanous sound, swirling with vibrating light and gently drifting fields of meditative bliss, bringing to Inverted a careful balance of concentration and imagination, concept versus task.

Overall, Inverted is a satisfyingly tangible cassette, bristling with varied sounds laden with hidden and ancient powers, and a worthy addition to the collection of any adventurously experimental explorer of the ambient."

-Gray Lee (Houdini Mansions)
